The second volume of Essential Elvis offers Elvis in binaural stereo
from the January 1957 sessions that produced several hits. (RCA
Victor generously filled the disc out with mono masters of the
remaining songs to give the consumer a complete version of the
sessions.) This is a lot of fun; the gaffes are numerous, obvious,
and hilarious, and for ears raised on multi-track recording, it must
be amazing to hear an entire record recorded live in the studio! (AllMusic
